Itasca County Habitat for Humanity

Support Itasca County Habitat for Humanity on Give to the Max Day as we begin our 50th Build!

For over 30 years, Itasca County Habitat for Humanity has been dedicated to building community relationships and providing affordable housing for those in need. Our mission is to reduce the number of families living in substandard housing by offering opportunities and resources for successful homeownership. We believe that a decent, affordable home is essential to the quality of life for families and communities.

Since our inception in 1992, we have built homes in various towns across Itasca County, serving 59 families, 79 adults, and 149 children. Currently, we are building our 50th  home. Our unique approach involves partnering with families who purchase their homes with low-interest, 30-year mortgages, ensuring that their house payments do not exceed 30% of their monthly income.

Affordable homeownership helps create stability and confidence, fostering better child development and long-term career growth. When families partner with Habitat, they not only purchase a home but also learn valuable skills in homebuilding, financial readiness, and community engagement.

The economic impact of affordable housing extends beyond individual families. For every dollar invested in our operations, $1.53 is injected back into the community, supporting local businesses and contributing to the local tax base. Since 1992, our homeowners have paid over $721,000 in local property taxes, enhancing civic participation, public safety, and community pride.

Join us in making a lasting impact on our community. Your support on Give to the Max Day helps us continue our mission of providing safe, affordable homes for families in Itasca County. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to building a better future for all.
